Monaco Yacht Show 2016 – A Few Astonishing Sailing Boats – Part One

Monaco Yacht Show 2016 started on September 28 and ended on October 1st. It was as astonishing as ever, and I don’t want to present it again as I usually do with other yacht shows, because this was one of the most glamorous yachts reunion this year so far. Nineteen beautiful sailing yachts have been admired by the lucky visitors. The tickets were €150 per person per day, or a four days ticket with €400 per person.

Brokerage Firms and Brands presenting the sailing yachts at the Monaco Yacht Show 2016

Y.Co is a global brokerage and management company established in Monaco. They came with two sailing yachts here, “Alejandra” and “Panthalassa”. I have to confess that “Alejandra” is one of the classiest sailing yachts I have ever seen.

Southern Wind Shipyards from South Africa came with “Ammonite” and “Crossbow”. I’m going to present all of them in a series of posts dedicated not especially to this event, but to the gorgeous performer boats built by real masters.

Burgess, a British intermediary company with offices in Monte Carlo came with two yachts: “Athena” (in joined management with Merle Wood & Associates) and “Khaleesi”.

Fraser Yachts, a brokerage company with offices in a few countries, came with “Nativa”, “Pink Gin”

Ocean Independence, a worldwide company, came with “Nephele”.

Nautor’s Swan (a prestigious brand already presented on this website) came with a 32.2 meters beauty called “Shamanna”.

Edmiston & Company, apparently based in Monte Carlo but with offices all over the world came with “Silencio”, a 49.8 meters yacht built in 2001.

This was only an introduction to the sailing yachts short review.

I shall start with “Alejandra”, the superb 41.33 meters yacht managed (for sale as well) by Y.Co. and continue with “Ammonite”, a 24.8 meters sailing yacht built by Southern Wind.

Alejandra

The beautiful and luxurious sailing yacht Alejandra, was built in 1993 by Astilleros Mefasa, for His Majesty, King Juan Carlos of Spain. In 1996, she was acquired by Ferruccio Fiorucci, from the famous Italian Deli Meats, Cesare Fiorucci S.p.A.

Ammonite

Ammonite was built in 2016 by the South African Yacht builder Southern Wind, to be delivered for the Australian business man and yacht lover, Marcus Blackmore. She has a lifted keel, in order to be able to cruise on relatively shallow waters. It is a semi custom model from SW82 series.
